And isn't 17,000 the number of species killed off each year. Is there a trend? Are we being sold something? Let's see... quote: Up to 17,000 women in Britain are being subjected to "honour" related violence, including murder, every year, according to police chiefs. quote: Survivor Duck: 15 Years and 17,000 Miles Later quote: According to reports, a single computer crash on Saturday in the Customs office of LAX caused hours of delays for more than 17,000 airline passengers. quote: It hit the satellite as the spacecraft travelled at more than 17,000 mph. quote: Some 17,000 jobs were wiped out in the US last month, according to nonfarm payroll figures released Friday by the Labor department. quote: The Forgotten Casualties of War: Over 17,000 U.S. Troops Wounded quote: Both pollutants contribute to soot, which leads to lung-related illnesses. And the smog, or ground-level ozone, caused by nitrogen oxides has been linked to increased death rates. The cuts are predicted to prevent 17,000 premature deaths and 700,000 lung-related illnesses every year. quote: Around 17,000 "substandard" teachers are struggling in classrooms and failing to inspire their pupils, according to the head of the body responsible for upholding teaching standards. quote: UN Helps Over 17,000 Flood Victims in Mozambique "UN Helps" LOL. quote: Britain has amassed a stockpile of more than 100 tonnes of plutonium -- enough for 17,000 bombs of the size that flattened Japan's Nagasaki in 1945, a report from the country's top science institution said on Friday. quote: His statement comes in light of U.S. naval maneuvers off Iran's coast as the United States Wednesday beefed up its military presence in the Gulf deploying two aircraft carriers and landing ships packed with some 17,000 Marines. quote: School bus-related accidents send 17,000 U.S. children to emergency rooms each year, more than double the number in previous estimates that only included crashes, new research shows. quote: Sudanese authorities confiscated 17,000 copies of the opposition al-Rai al-Shaab daily on Tuesday for violating a ban on reporting about a thwarted plot to attack Western embassies in Khartoum. quote: Pfizer Inc. says the identities of 17,000 current and former employees were compromised when an employee's spouse installed unauthorized file-sharing software on a company laptop where the data was stored. quote: Every year, between 17,000 and 100,000 species vanish from our planet, he says.
